I agree with you, Alexa! I also think banning churches was the worst thing King John could have done. All the Christians were scared they were not going to go to heaven. Church is one of the most important things for them and not going is bad for them. This caused the citizens to rebel against King John.

I think the worst the King John did with his power was banning churches in England. When he did this everyone who went to church thought they were not going to go to heaven. This made the people very made and caused they to rebel against King John.

I think the worst abuse is throwing people in jail for no reason. It is unfair. And maybe when they're in jail they may be sentenced to death just because they were walking down the street.

I agree with Angelina. I agree with Angelina because they could just be sent to death for no reason. They also will have a criminal record when they didn´t harm anyone.

I Agree with you with this and of course King John would not have to answer to anyone about it. He also if someone demanded a reason from him one thing he could and may have said was that they spoke against him and out of turn... and then throw the person who questioned him in jail also.

I think that the most abusive act of King John was getting church services banned in Europe. I think this because most of the people in Europe were Christian. Also, the Ten Commandments state you must go to church or else you will go to hell for your sins.

I agree with Ethan since a majority of people were Christian, then he got church banned. The people were scared they would go to hell so they got mad at him.

I agree with you because if they do not go to church they will go to hell for all their sins and they don't want to go to hell. It's also part of their religion to go to church to warship God

I can agree completely with the church getting banned, Since people basically visited it every day to have no sins, not being able to go to church made people angry and scared that they would go to hell.

I think the worst thing he did was getting church banned. I think this because everyone wanted to go to heaven and it was believed that you couldn't go to heaven if you don't go to church.

I think that banning church was the worst because so many people were religious. It was cruel to make them think that they were going to hell just because of the king's choice. This also led to so many people hating him.

I think one of the worst abuse King John did was throwing people in jail for no reason. I think this because the people did nothing wrong, to me it does not make sense. This does not make sense because what did they do to you?, did they harm anybody to be thrown in jail?, just questions that pop into mind.

I think banning churches was the worst because it destroys what some people live for. They could put up with the other abuse and church would be their way to get away. They'd still have their religious and comfort knowing that they'll go to heaven but when King John took that away it took away its people's hopes.

I think abused his power the most by imprisoning people for no reason. His people might rebel for being imprisoned unrightfully. Also him taking away churches was a bad thing because Christianity was a big thing in Europe.

I think the worst think King john did was ban churches in Europe. A lot of people were Christian in Europe and if you didn't go to church they would say you're going to hell . And that was one of the worst things for Christians is going to hell because they all wanted to go to heaven .

I think the worst thing he did was getting church service banned. Back then they believed that would mean u would go to hell. That was a terrible thing to believe. I also though throwing people into church was very unnecessary. To me king john just wasn't the best at his job.

I think that taking farmer's crops was the worst thing because not only was he harming the farmers making them get less pay or if they resisted thrown in jail, he was hurting his own economy by doing so. It also men't that the farmers might not be able to feed their families. Same with all the other goods he was forcing his own economy into the dirt

I think that getting the church banned was the worst out of all of them. Since most people were Christian that really changed many people's daily lives and made them upset. It caused uproar to many areas and many people questioned the king's choices.
